LONDON (Reuters) - Spire Healthcare shares jumped almost 16% on Friday after the British private hospital group said it was exploring strategic options, including a potential sale of the company.

Spire shares jumped to a one-year high, last up 15.7% and set for their biggest one-day rally since May 2021.

The group - which operates 38 hospitals and more than 50 clinics, medical centers and consulting rooms in the UK - said it was working with lead financial adviser Rothschild & Co.

The statement came after a Sky News report on Wednesday suggested some of Spire's investors, including activist trust Achilles AIC.L, part of Harwood Capital Management, had encouraged it to consider a sale.
